1. per- "completely" + patrare "carry out, perform, accomplish," originally "bring into existence," originally meant literally 'perform or accomplish in the capacity or quality of a father'.
2. Neither good nor bad in Latin, first used in English in statutes, hence its sense of "perform criminally".
3. per- + petr- (patr-的变体、音变) + -ator.
4. 该词本无好坏之分,但由于首次进入英语时,被用于法规、法令之中,所以含义由此演变为做坏事。
5. literally "the one who did it" (in English usually an evil act).
6. perpetrator....碰必捶他....................(碰见)做坏事的人
